I watch packing videos to feel like I’m escaping somewhere. Anyone feel me?
lol I do the same!!
Yeh when I want to escape I research different country's 😂
Jaiee Satpute meeeee
A
right now as was supposed to be l maggiore Italy then so on going nowhere til 2021 obviously but will hibernate as cannot spend anything literally .. so hunkering down to learn a couple of languages and watch the travel vlogs to plan and dream !
Lol everyone is saying that she packed so much but i’m going away tomorrow for 8 days and i’m literally packing twice as much as she is lol
Jada Miller I agree she packed too much of some things. You only need one 3-1-1 bag if trim down, And always use a 1 quart freezer Ziploc bag, not items bought from cosmetic departments that say they’re a good substitute.That make up kit was way way too big. Too many shoes. Notice she didn’t specify how many dresses or jeans she took. I’m an older lady so I never wear jeans especially in Europe besides they’re too heavy, too hard to wash and dry, and way too uncomfortable for sitting for long periods. I suggest smaller packing cubes so you can organize shirts in one dresses in one scarves in one so forth. Packing cubes should also fit snugly and clothes in it should be fairly compressed not loose and flapping around as she demonstrated. I’ve been on 30 day trips with 124 inch suitcase and a medium size backpack. Anything is possible especially if you have to carry yourself. And I always believe you will have to carry it yourself, maybe up to or three flights of stairs.
Jada Miller Same here lol! I’m looking at this video in awe of her... I like having wardrobe variety and color and makeup for day and night. I may have to invest in that Loan Sons (?) bag with the shoe compartment! Like who doesn’t bring jeans when they travel... 😒
lol thank you! This makes me feel so much better
@@grammyp1389 what kind/brand of packing cubes do you use?
Thanks for the tips.
I'm traveling to New Zealand in Feb for a week or 2 and was thinking a couple Merino sleeveless dresses would be useful. I hardly ever wear jeans even at home, but your comment about them was helpful.
Take pictures of your suitcase and keep it on your phone, then show it to them
Smart!
Yep, I always take pictures of all my luggage.
@@annablauser1983 I don't think it's wise to go on a trip now, with everything happening.
I always do that
@buntcubbles there was a comment saying a few says ago from when I watched the video, I don't know if the person deleted their comment. I have tagged someone, but their comment is nowhere to be found
Protip: If you pack in compression cubes and don’t compress on your way out, you can compress on way home to fit new purchases.
Am I the only one who thinks she sounds like Selena Gómez?
I am an overpacker and love to dress for dinner so packing for Italy in June will totally stress me out :)
lol I know what you mean! I think if you can limit your shoes, you should be okay!
I'm also watching this because I'm going to Italy in June!!
me too like still to look decent in evening not like a dowdy backpacking girl as live bright colours ..and kight colours but always wash as I go when I can
how was italy? 2 yrs later 😫
@@alyciasavard-ouellet5860 how was italy?!!? 👍🏼😆
I'd like to know if you actually USED ALL of those items in your carry-on! That'd be a GREAT video follow-up!!
I see TONS of these types of packing videos but never "what I didn't use" or "what I ACTUALLY used" videos.
THAT would be interesting to me!
Tina Jackson I used most of it! Maybe would have packed 2 less tops - but that's about it! ❤️
Tina Jackson yeah, I would skip the lighted mirror.
Check out travelfashiongirl’s what I wore for 2 weeks in Europe. Minimal, and she shows what she didn’t use.
Where did you get the tote bag please
@Tina Jackson based on my experience. It depends last travel to LA, US in my carry on I used half of my clothes because I was able to wash my clothes and wear it again. I bring 5 dress I end up wear 2 dress only because my cousin SUV Mercedes Benz is too high for me to climb up. But if I go inclusive vacation for 7 days. Yes I used all of my clothes with 1 or 2 tshirts left for my airport outfit. For fancy evening dinner I used their ironing service for 1.50 so cheap. Just bring clothes that is wrinkle free and thin.
The space at the bottom of your bag suprised me! 3 shoes fit in. Wow! 😱
3 pairs of PJ's AND you did laundry???? WOW...I'm thinking that's a lot.
Yes :) Keep in mind this was my first time taking this type of trip so I wasn't sure how much access I would have to a washer! We were also hopping hotels very frequently.
@@PrettyInProse a light weigh t shirt that you can rinse in the sink and drip dry - boom, jammies. if cold, add tights. saves room and both can be easily hand washed in the sink w/hotel shampoo.
Hello! In the video you mentioned you traveled to France Italy and Greece, I would like to request a video where you share your itinerary and more tips, these are the Countries I want to visit as well so it would help me a lot. Thank you!
You were pretty lucky thst you ciukx bring that second big bag !! Often in Europe you are not even allowedto have a purse as sn extra.
Multiple times I had to put my purse in my carry-on so even had to save room there upfront. So be careful when you bring two pieces as handluggage to Europe. You might be forced to leave it behind or when you are lucky you can check it in. But often the flights are backed.
Be aware that this suitcase is not eligible as cabin luggage for european low-cost airlines!!!!
can you give more details about why?
@@jefdby just look on the internet site of the companies as Ryanair, easyjet etc
jefdby the same requirements are super strict. I’m packing for Europe in December 2019 & one of my flights will be on Ryanair and they have the smallest size & weight allowances for both carry-on and personal bags.
for my wrinkled clothes, when i got to the hotel, I sprayed them with water and use the hair dryer as a "steamer" and my clothes was wrinkle-free when they dried down :)
Love this idea! So smart!
Maybe use some acrylic paint to paint a pattern (rainbow) on your case. 🤷🏻♀️😃
lol yes! Love the creativity
@@PrettyInProse or stickers
Omg hydro dipping the luggage would be so neat!
How did you not get on trouble for having creams and stuff not in your liquid bag 🤔
I am German and they very often make everyone empty out their entire suitcase if the only missed the toothpaste, so you did get lucky in that case to be honest 😂
Oh you can bring all those things on a plane in Germany too but it just needs to be under 100 ml and in that plastic bag
what German airport was it? I’m from Frankfurt
Did your lo and sons bag fit fine under the seat? It seems big.
It did - but it definitely was a squeeze! Luckily we didn't have any issues on any of the flights. However, I should mentioned I'm only 5'2, so I don't need a ton of leg room :)
I would like to see a video of what your Boyfriend brought?
Great idea!!
A pair of underwear, another t-shirt, and a toothbrush! And Thats it! 😀😀😀😀
Very cool video, very much enjoyed watching. FYI: If you want to cut down on the liquids you can get bar shampoo and conditioner (my favorite comes from Lush, but there are a LOT of folks that sell things like that).
Great advice! Thank you!!
How much did your carry on weigh and your personal item?
I’m going to Europe for 21 days and this really helped thx 😂
i suggest bar shampoo. it eliminates a bottle of liquid. same with solid stick deodorant
I love that suggestion! Thank you!!
I did the solid deodorant but not the shampoo because we are going to California in December and have to pack a checked bag but have to live out of my carry on for a day or 2 but i have not left yet but that is a good idea i did not know where to buy the solid shampoo any suggestions?
Dani Emigh Lush has solid shampoo, conditioner, and lotion
hello hello, really cute and good tips, nice channel
thank you for sharing with us
Greetings from a Frenchie in France
Thank you! I love France can't wait to go back!
I traveled to India for 3 months on half that amount and never missed anything. It is natural for humans to overpack.
In flights from uk any liquids all have to go in just 1 clear plastic bag ... for carry on ... unless you buy things after security checks in departures ... I therefore use solid deodorant and shampoo bar and solid stick sun barrier ...
That is so smart!! Thank you!!
PrettyInProse Hi what kind of mosquito repellant as i tried deet and non deet and nothing worked ?
@@lbunnygordon1133 the light house guide on South Manitou Island this summer where the mosquitoes were terrible said DEEP WOODS OFF is the only thing that worked for her.
If I understood correctly she used it under and over her clothes.
But the chemicals would worry me.
@@jefdby thank you a lot for reply
definately used lush shempoo bar and bar soap and hack of toothpaste powder just avoids too many liquids ..taking less makeup inc 3 tiny packs of mineral base powder saving on heavy bottle of foundation liquid ..
Anyone else impressed with the colour co-ordination of the clothing? It made feel so happy.
@Rhonda Yes, I was raised that my clothes must match or has color co-ordination. I don't like to show off or be fashionable but what makes you happy go for it. I like to look beautiful, if your beautiful you feel happy, if you feel happy you do great. Simple reason. If my blouse is pink, you can guess my undies is pink. My hubby found me weird, until he saw my family, one cousin bring one carry-on just make up stuff, one Auntie showed up with a bag of full of jewelry just to match the gown for wedding. He said it's not only YOU, it's your whole family thing. The lesson: What makes you Happy go with it. Life too short to bother some non-important things.
Which Lo & Sons tote is that exactly? I see four different totes or carry-on's on their site?
Hi Cecelia! It was the Catalina Deluxe Tote bag!
I find some of the roller bags, esp. the 360* are ‘bigger’ than the required measurements when you add in the wheels. Did yours fit into the required measurements and if not did you have any problems carrying it on?
We didn't have any issues with this one! There are definitely some other travel roller bags that are slightly larger than this - so we tried to err on the side of caution. We were also never asked to place it inside of those measurement wracks to see if it met the requirements. The only time we had an issue was when flights were really booked up, or you were literally only allowed one bag (including a purse), so we would have to check the bag!
take a pic of your back and buy a suitcase cover, they are so cute
When I’m on a flight I get inflatable neck pillows because after your flight you can deflate it and it will not take up much room
I love your videos🤩🤩
That's what I thought. I got an inflatable neck pillows but then I found out that I did not sleep well on it so I bought a memory foam neck pillow
Was curious on the material of your bag. I want to buy it, it looks great in the video. I clicked on the link and they have canvas and polyester. What material was your bag? Is it the poly one?
They have clear plastic covers for your suitcases to protect them that are reusable
Oh wow I wish I had known that! LOL. I needed you in my life sooner!
Good video and good idea to have the in -flight stuff in one little bag! (Mrs.Rugby)
Fabric softener sheets help with dirty clothes. Love the anti wrinkle spray idea!
@ Phyllis You got it right. My hubby is smoker his dirty clothes smells yucky the downy sheets helps with the smoke and mildew smell.
Its the roll down makeup bag for me. Its a must add to cart! Thanks so much for these tips. Gonna start prepping for next week’s baecation 😍
The Two Little Bags Would Have Fit In Your Other Bigger Packing Cubes. Beautiful Video❤
the amount of these packing carry on videos i watch and none of them ever show what the weight is of what they carry on is insane. Im pretty sure majority if not all airlines have weight and size restrictions. In Australia, NZ and Japan, the limitation is 7kgs for economy (14kg for business). Could not fit all of that into a small suitcase and weigh only a total of 7kgs 🙄
How do you make room for souvenirs? Thanks for the helpful video! I’m going to 6 countries in Europe for 24 days next May! I’m so excited! :)
Maybe you could squeeze some sort of tote in your suitcase?
Solid shampoo & conditioner and face cream bars pretty much all you need
Yup I've got a shampoo bar,only liquid I'll have is face cream and may be sunscreen. I believe in minimizing packing if you'll have access to washer.plus if you buy shirts that are linnen thin,she seems to be a bit more higher maintenance w the flat iron and all.dude shes higher maintenance then me😆
Can I please ask why you chose to use a packing cube that was the same size and shape as your suitcase?
So that I could pull it out and lay it onto the bed, rather than lifting my luggage each time. Just easier to reach and separate in the hotel room!
I am over here freaking out about what suitcase I should take on a 4 day cruise. This video has inspired me a lot thanks!! Carry on for me it is!!
What is the brand of suitcase? What are the outside dimensions? Great video. You held my interest and I've got to get one of those makeup bags.
Hi Teresa! The brand is Nordstrom! I have a link in bio for all the deets!
Confused on bringing a mirror to Europe for 9 flights over two weeks. Weren’t you afraid it would shatter?
I'm curious about your luggage size in liter measurement?
Where did you get your hair iron straightner? I need to take a travel curling iron but I can't find one. They are all full size.
Wait, so I’m NOT the only one that packs pj short specifically for under dresses, while bringing other pj shorts to sleep it?
Little advice if you at travelling from a cold country to a warm one put sum shorts in your bag that doesn’t go in the over head locker so you can change after the flight if it is warm and they are easy to get to
Hi! Hubby and I are taking a 15 day river cruise to Holland, Germany, Austria and Hungary soon with 2 extra days in Amsterdam.!For a bad overpacker, I’m only taking a carry on with a personal item only. It’s a first!
Must be going on Danube, how was it? We’re leaving Thursday
You sound like Selena Gomez, just had to say that lol
Going to Italy soon & this will be my 1st time to travel this far & for that long using a carryon suitcase only & large carry on bag. I've been very nervous that it's possible for me until watching this video. I usually overpack & know every bit of space counts. love your lo & sons bag that can slip over the handle of the suitcase handle. I'd like to order it & your carry on in a darker color. He said you purchased it from Nordstrom, what brand is it? Glad to read the comment that the wheels were able to roll on the cobblestone streets with no problem!
Hi Amanda! How exciting!! I'm sure you'll have the best time! Italy is so beautiful. The brand for the roller bag is Nordstrom, there is a link above that will take you directly to it! I typically carried it when we hit a lot of cobblestone, but for the most part it rolled just fine! Definitely was able to take some bumpy roads. Enjoy your trip! xx
make sure before you buy luggage you check any airlines you're taking for weight and sizing restrictions! of all of the packing in a carry on videos i've watched, none of them would pass on the airlines were taking. i have heard they take weight limitations pretty seriously. we leave in just over a week, so i guess i'll find out!
It's just as easy to pack what you need as it is to overpack. Just think about what you're going to wear. Take clothes that are versatile and change up the outfits. Wear your bulkiest shoes on the plane so they take up less space in the suitcase or tote. You don't need to take a lot of makeup. Some women take multiple palettes. Space waster! And just wear your jewelry - watch, earrings, necklace, bracelet, rings. You don't need extras.Trust me. I traveled a lot until I had kids late in life.
Who cares if it gets banged up 50 bucks or less does fine buy covers
I’ve been watching so many packing videos for my 10 day trip in California in July but not for helping me pack well somethings like rolling my clothing and a little more.
That’s all you packed for 2 weeks?? Wow. I pack 2 huge luggage’s 😫
lol it was struggle!! This was my first time taking this type of trip so I was so worried I would lose my luggage :(
I'm going to Europe tomorrow for 12 days lol
THANK YOU FOR THIS HELPFUL VIDEO, Have a Nice Day.
I am going to go to LA and Las Vegas for a week in about a month and this is such a help and know I already want to pack because I love packing but I am not organized.Thanks for the help of this vid.❤️
Aw awesome! Have fun!!
+PrettyInProse thanks😄
What is the brand of your backpack ?
I love my Lo & Son’s Deluxe Catalina tote! I also love the Away Carry-on.
This was so helpful! Absolutely love that tote bag!
Thank you! I can fit so much inside of it! I literally want their entire line lol
Great video & tips. Love the packing cubes!! Is there a size limit for the "personal item"?
Thanks! Yes, it depends on the airline. But they mostly went by weight!
best thing every- gallon size ziplock for socks and undies, throw when dirty and need of washing and smoosh out the air. The simplest best thing. *Disagree on the breathable stinky clothes stuff. Ziplock it shut and put in a front pocket or separate compartment from main clean clothes. Also Throw in 2 Gain dryer sheets 1 with stinky 1 with clean, can use to polish shoes, keep things fresh, de-static hair or clothes and a zillion other things. Also, though an oldie and experienced traveler, I just figured out a hack last month while heading to Ireland, though I'm sure I'm not the first. Quart size bag- 30 round cotton [ads doused well with gentle micellar water, press out air seal. The pads absorb the liquid, so no TSA will even blink and it cut down on space and products. I still brought my powder cleanser from DHC, but this just rocked for removing makeup, cooling off, taking up like NO space great carry on hack, and yes after 17 days they still were fresh and clean out of the ziplock :) (that was my only concern on the try) AND AWESOME for your first round!!!!! - 3 pairs of PJ's, man-god I wish!!!
What airline did you use
No way that 'personal item' will be allowed on European budget airlines...a full size mirror? 🤣🤣
I bought the Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe Tote thanks to this video!! 2 week trip to Spain coming up! 🎉
3 pairs of pajamas???
That's a lot of stuff for only 14 days 😱
Keep in mind this was my first time traveling to Europe! But I used mostly everything :)
Hello! So if don’t check in my bag cause i am planning on only bringing a carry on bag, So am i allowed to bring a personal bag aside from my carry on or it only depends on the airline? Like a laptop bag or a handbag?
idk if anyone else said this but i had( still do ) got these two purpleish colored suitcases that look like every other one but i took a sharpy to them granted they are fabric you might need paint for those but back to the sharpy i drew some fun stuff on it making it small enough that it dont look to tacky but big enough that i can spot it from anywhere i might need to
Great idea!!
That tote bag looks massive! i am shocked you were able to use it as a personal item! You really underfilled that HUGE cube, it is useless when not used properly as it takes up more space like that! European hotels DO have irons and ironing boards! roll tightly and neatly into not bigger than a medium cube! compress non crease items by pushing out the air! use a ziplock bag for the undies and push out the air, again you use a huge cube for the top, you only need a cube as wide as the folded and rolled item....you could have easily fit everything in the case had you packed properly!! You had well over the limit in just that one bag and you have liquids in two other bags too! the rules are there to protect us not to be broken by self important people.
You took a razor in your carry on?!
you never did a beauty toiletry essentials...😭
It's in a separate video! This one was so long I didn't have time to fit it in :( Link is in description!
PrettyInProse thanks
How do you stay under the 7kg limit with all that? I can pack all my stuff into the luggage ok but the weight of my luggage is always over and I don't carry hair straightners or cameras??
Which umbrella did you bring? It's not linked
That's a really bulky stuff for a personal item. Did you have any problem with it?
Yea it was cutting it close! I didn't have any issues luckily, but for some flights it was not easy to fit under the seat! Though the airlines allowed it on just fine as a personal item (unless there was a 1 bag restriction, in which case I checked my rollerbag).
You sound exactly like Selena Gomez!
Two bags are allowed for hand carry?
Angie Quibar you are allowed an overhead bag an under the seat and a lap bag if it is small
@@areneej1 how many kilo are allowed for the hand carry overhead and the bag over lap?
Which airline did you travel with, from your city to Europe? Im going to Spain and I’m flying in delta
Have you ever traveled with Lufthansa using that tote bag from Lo & Sons? I know they are a bit strict with their luggage size? I love the tote. I am going to Italy for 10 days and I would love to take that tote with me
I have not! We mainly took Air France and Vueling! I remember Vueling was pretty strict (1 bag only), but that might have been because of the size of the aircraft.
Devices from USA will not work in EU you have to be careful with that and check that they are 100~240. If it is 100~127 there is risk of burning, fire or explosion! So don't take your curlers or dryers unless they are 100~240...
I don’t know how these packing videos can pack their clothes in. Why are your clothes so thin??
I have never used a shower cap. But then again if my hair gets a little damp in the shower and it isn't a washing day its no big deal to me, I usually air dry my hair anyway.
Ah I wish I could do that! When I air dry my hair it turns into a giant frizzball :(
Tks for all the info. What is the carry/weekender bag?
What's the brand of the makeup bag. I love it.
After all that stuff, does it pass the kg requirements for carry on?
It did! :)
This is definitely for those people who are travelling and want to look cute....for two weeks to alaska a couple weeks back i took way less clothes and we were outdoors every day hiking with all our outdoor gear.. I pretty much only book places that have a washer/dryer so we can wash clothes which makes it a lot easier to travel light. I did like your video even though it doesnt necessarily suit my travel lifestyle :)
A friend painted her suitcase, then took a picture with her cell phone.
Thx for great video. What size was that personal item under seat bag, where did you get it,?
Mindy Salsberg it’s from Los and Sons . I think she listed in the description box
This video relieved so much stress
Is it a 20inch cabin sized roller/suitcase?
I will probably pack all of these for my 4 day trip :)
Jherlene Cargill Exactly!! Ppl mentioned that she packed too much... I’m like wow that’s like a 3-4 day weekend trip for me. 😂
lol thank you!! You make me feel better :)
Hello, I have a question, everyone who goes to Europe takes a carry on luggage and a backpack but they are usually pretty full so where do you put all of the souvenirs and stuff you buy over there? I love shopping so it just seems very difficult for me. Please help!
I’m just watching this video now, so many great tips! Thank you! Do you mind telling where you got your side purse? If you remember
I go a month at a time in a laptop bag and it doesn't matter if you're gone for 3 months or 5 days you pack the same. Clothes can be washed.
I'm going to Europe for the first time in a couple of weeks for 14 days and this video is perfect for helping me limit what to pack too!!
Yay!! I'm so glad!!
Always rap your bag in clingrap plastic it saves your bag to get damaged
that backpack is way to huge to be allowed by Ryanair
Is this the Catalina deluxe is small or large? Thank you
Split our liquids haha. Thx for the laugh
LOL! Sounds so gross haha
does your personal bag add up with the weight of the carry-on? like for example some airlines will only allow 8kg
You can steam the clothes without the wrinkle release
We did 2 weeks in Italy then England. I took a small carryon. We just went to the farmacia the 1st day in Rome & bought the basic toiletries like soap, shampoo/conditioner & toothpaste & shave cream.
